Stay longer, save more - Short Breaks at Alton Towers
One day at Alton Towers is brilliant. Two days is unforgettable.
If you're thinking about making a proper break of it, Alton Towers Resort has five uniquely themed places to stay - all on site, all steps from the rides. The iconic Alton Towers Hotel puts you right in the heart of the resort, while Splash Landings Hotel is the one for families who want easy access to the Waterpark. For something a little different, the Enchanted Village Woodland Lodges and Stargazing Pods offer a more secluded, nature-filled stay - perfect for families who want to slow down between the thrills.
And then there's the CBeebies Land Hotel - the UK's only CBeebies-themed hotel, where bedrooms are designed around your children's favourite characters and the magic starts long before you reach the park gates.
Short Break packages include a delicious breakfast, free Extraordinary Golf, and free car parking - which alone saves you £13 to £15 compared with a standard day visit. Packages start from £44 per person.
If you're already planning a day visit, it's worth checking whether a Short Break works out better value for your family before you book.
